"Sister Yueyan, did I just see the Chinese flag on that car?"
"I think I saw it too. It must be one of our Chinese racers."
*Reba's* eyes lit up at the mention of a Chinese racer, but then her gaze dimmed.
The car had flashed past so quickly, she hadn't had a chance to get a good look at the racer or the design on the helmet.
As a devoted fan of *Man Dao*, *Reba* was thrilled to see a Chinese racer.
Moreover, the racer had the national flag emblazoned on the car, clearly showing their patriotism.
These details instantly boosted *Reba's* admiration for the racer.
She now hoped the racer would safely pass the qualifying rounds so she could get an autograph!
The qualifying round was only one lap. If the racer didn't pass, they might leave *Man Dao* immediately.
"I hope he finishes safely," *Gu Yueyan* silently prayed for the racer beside her.
Meanwhile, *Lin Yan*, after navigating a series of consecutive corners, entered the next section of the track.
The Joey section, named after a legend.
It was in commemoration of the most tragic family in *Man Dao's* hundred-year history, the *Deng Luopu* family.
*Joey Deng Luopu*, who had won twenty-six championships, was hailed as the "God of Man Dao" by fans. His brother, *Robert Deng Luopu*, had also won the TT Superbike championship five times.
However, after *Joey's* death, *Robert* also sacrificed himself on the track.
In *Lin Yan's* first year at *Man Dao*, another racer from the *Deng Luopu* family, *William Deng Luopu*, also tragically died in a crash during a race at *Man Dao*.
Despite the older generations sacrificing themselves on the track, the last remaining racer of the family, *Michael Deng Luopu*, continued to race.
For them, perhaps family honor had long surpassed the fear of death.
And this Joey section was a testament to the glory of the *Deng Luopu* family.
To this day, members of the *Deng Luopu* family had accumulated over fifty championship titles across all categories at *Man Dao*.
And three drivers from their family had lost their lives on the track.
On the track now, facing the high-speed corners of the Joey section, *Lin Yan* had to focus even more intently on the road ahead, precisely avoiding any potential accident.
Simultaneously, he controlled the throttle with his right hand, keeping the bike as stable as possible.
Approaching a long straight, *Lin Yan* accelerated to 321 km/h, which was the limit for bikes at *Man Dao*. This was because the bikes used at *Man Dao* were modified production bikes, not factory-built racers like those in GP.
MotoGP races utilized specially developed factory bikes.
Factory bikes had significantly superior acceleration compared to production bikes, much like comparing an F1 car to a civilian sports car.
Coupled with the limited track length, *Lin Yan* had to brake as he reached the braking point.
"My goodness, 321 kilometers per hour..."
The commentator, *Dong Zi*, in the live broadcast, suddenly cut off mid-sentence.
He was too excited. He knew that reaching 321 km/h on this straight meant that passing the qualifying rounds was a certainty.
But then his expression changed, as he suddenly remembered that the straight wasn't over yet, and what came next was...
As the Ducati V4 SP passed the braking point, *Lin Yan* abruptly squeezed the clutch with his left hand and grabbed the brake with his right.
It was another display of what was called a "top-tier heavy brake."
At this moment, viewers in the live broadcast and audiences in front of their televisions were all watching this scene.
*Lin Guoxiong* in his office gripped the tablet in his hand tighter, as if he were about to crush it.
Even *Zhang Mingzhi*, who had already witnessed *Lin Yan's* skill, felt a slight tension seeing this on screen.
This was because they could see from the live broadcast that the end of the straight was a corner that hugged a cliff edge.
This was the longest straight on the entire *Man Dao* course, but at the end of it was the winding mountain road circuit, with a sheer cliff face beside it.
If the speed was too high and braking was insufficient, the rider could very well go off the cliff and fall to their death.
The director, meanwhile, had clearly noticed the exceptional performance of this Chinese racer.
With the live footage from the helicopter, *Lin Yan's* front suspension bottomed out, and the rear wheel of the Ducati V4 beneath him wobbled violently.
However, it stabilized within half a second, and he flew past the edge of the cliff.
Seeing this, the viewers in the live broadcast and *Lin Guoxiong* breathed a sigh of relief.
*Hao Dong*, on the other hand, shouted excitedly in the live broadcast, knowing that *Man Dao* might soon have its first Chinese racer.
Following *Hao Dong's* shout, the comments in the live broadcast scrolled furiously.
"Damn, that scared the life out of me!"
"Yeah, it scared me too. Why was the rear wheel shaking so much!"
"Right, I saw the rear suspension bounce a few times too..."
"Why was the rear wheel shaking like that? I'm new to this, can someone explain."
"That's a heavy brake, a technique professional riders use to rapidly reduce speed in a short amount of time..."
As the comments asked, an knowledgeable viewer immediately explained.
"Okay, okay, thanks, expert!"
"Regardless, all I want to say is 27 is awesome!!!"
"Didn't you guys notice Dong Ge shouting?"
"Dong Zi, what are you barking about?"
...
After smoothly navigating this corner, he entered the next section, the Ramsey hairpin. This was a winding mountain road section.
A love story that has been passed down to this day also occurred on this track.
At the end of the last century, the *Man Dao* authorities lifted the ban on female participation, which had lasted for 16 years.
A woman finally achieved her dream of crossing the finish line alongside her husband. This was her happiest moment.
However, after retiring, this woman served as a race marshal. While on duty at the Ramsey hairpin, a runaway race car came towards her. This woman lost her left leg in the accident.
From then on, the *Man Dao* racetrack gained a story of love.
